#FinishedReading my first of a subscription to #AsimovsScienceFiction magazine. With its wonky printing (page margins randomly shifting, print changing darkness across each page) it feels a bit like samizdat; I don't mind that, but surely they could have done better with the cover (credited only to image corporation Shutterstock). More importantly the stories were solid and entertaining, although not top tier. My favourites were 'The Hidden God' by #TRNapper and 'On the Night Shift' by #ZoharJacobs , one a satirical thriller of AI attaining sentience and declaring class war, the other a fairly realistic story of mission control for a Mars landing trying to work through a climate change induced superstorm on Earth. #NancyKress , one of my favourite short story writers, has part 1 of a 2 part story so I'm intrigued to see where that goes next issue! @scifi

One of the most interesting characters in the "Aliens" saga finally has his own story, thanks to T.R. Napper's new cyberpunky sci-fi thriller novel "Aliens: Bishop." To learn how it came to be, as well as what inspired and influenced it, check out this exclusive interview.

I have just finished reading 36 Streets by #trnapper. A #cyberpunk novel set in Ha noi occupied by the Chinese. The novel is much more than a sci fi thriller. There is strong character development, and it asks plenty of questions about identity and imperialism. If you are into #cyberpunk it is a must read.
